International Fertilizer Association (IFA) and Proba launch global program for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction

Written by Proba | Oct 10, 2024 7:45:24 AM

The objective: Reducing emissions in fertilizer application

This collaboration with Proba and the International Fertilizer Association (IFA) focuses on promoting the use of enhanced-efficiency fertilizers, including nitrification and urease inhibitors, which play a crucial role in reducing emissions from fertilizer application. By implementing these technologies, fertilizer producers and downstream partners can make meaningful reductions in their carbon footprints, contributing to more sustainable agricultural practices worldwide.

The role of insetting and carbon finance

A key aspect of the project is the use of insetting strategies and the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM). These mechanisms incentivize the adoption of sustainable technologies, offering financial support and rewards for producers who reduce their emissions. Insetting aligns with the carbon footprint of the value chain, helping companies meet their sustainability targets without needing to rely solely on external carbon credits.

Collaboration with industry leaders

Proba is proud to be working alongside 11 IFA members who are sponsoring this initiative. These industry leaders are committed to making a tangible impact on the sector's sustainability efforts. Together, we aim to create a model for future industry collaborations that will drive decarbonization on a global scale.
